Before a Monday shootout against the Nashville Predators, the Blues goalie was caught on camera using an iPad to watch video of his potential opponents.

Before you ask, it's not illegal—just smart, and in Elliott's case, effective, since he stopped Craig Smith and Martin Erat. Combined with goals by teammates T.J. Oshie and Alex Steen against Nashville's Pekka Rinne, the Blues got themselves a 4-3 win. Rookie Vladimir Tarasenko, with a goal and two assists, again led St. Louis—he starred in his first NHL game, a 6-0 win over the Detroit Red Wings on Saturday night.

Elliott, meanwhile, stopped all 13 shots he faced in relief of starter Jaroslav Halak, who struggled after his opening night shutout. Maybe Halak should try using an iPad mini—he's short, you see.
